Profile:Upon watching Ramnaresh Sarwan bat, England great Ted Dexter predicted that he would average 60 in Test cricket. Things haven't been quite so easy for the 22-year-old Guyanan, but his talent is certainly remarkable. Standing below average height, Sarwan is a stylish right-hander. A strong driver of the ball, he is also quick to cut and hook. He has unquestionable poise at the crease, and bats with a rare elegance. He has had to wait for his first Test hundred, but it will certainly come. A lively fielder and occasional leg-spinner, he has much to offer. Sarwan made his debut at 16 in the 1996 Busta Cup, though rain prevented him batting. He was out for nought on his one-day debut, the Shell/Sandals Trophy Final of 1996. Another duck followed on his maiden first-class knock. He struggled terribly before making 77 against a Curtly Ambrose-led Leeward Islands. A composed 42 in the Shell Trophy Final of 1997 was not enough to win Guyana the tournament, but did ensure Sarwan's place in the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. West Indies did not progress in the tournament, but Sarwan's composure at the crease impressed. It wasn't until the 1999 Busta Cup that Sarwan cemented his place in the Guyana side. His performances were not spectacular though, and his place was threatened. From nowhere, Sarwan hit two centuries for a Board President's XI against Zimbabwe, and was thrown into the Test side for the second Test against Pakistan in 2000. He made a superb unbeaten 84, announcing himself on the international stage in the most spectacular fashion. On the subsequent tour of England, Sarwan's 59 not out in the fourth Test stood out. But he had a horrible time in Australia, falling victim to Brett Lee's yorker, before returning for the final Test to make 50. At the Bourda, Sarwan made 91 against South Africa, run out agonisingly short of his first Test century. He scored heavily against Zimbabwe, and was one of the few batsmen to emerge with credit from West Indies' awful tour to Sri Lanka. In ODIs, he performed reasonably without standing out. Sarwan hit four fifties in the 2002 home series with India, to take his tally of Test half-centuries to 13. He is still without a hundred. He was selected for the ICC Champions Trophy and tour to India largely because his talent is obvious. He must now turn promising performances into big hundreds.
